ED 491 Week 1

The first blog that I found which offers English teachers opportunities to utilize the web in the classroom and for class assignments is called Just Read! This blog offers class assignments and other opportunities for students to use the web and post assignments to their teacher. I especially enjoy the project on The Great Gatsby for her 11th grade English students. Just Read!

The second blog offers different and various activities including comma quizzes, slide shows of vocabulary, and predicting what a book is about. This blog looks to be continuously updated and changed depending upon the assignment the class is working on. Miller's English 10

The final blog I find interesting is the English Teaching Lab. This blog provides teachers reading resources, grammar resources, and web-based learning lessons on teaching grammar to not only English as a Second Language students but also primary English speakers. These would be great resources for teachers who deal with ESL students or in order to provide review exercises or re-enforcement of grammar and its usage. English Teaching Lab
